How to Say ‘Okay, do you need a carry bag?’ in Traditional Chinese

好,需要提袋嗎?

hǎo xū yào tí dài ma

[how shyoo-yao tí dài ma]

💬 Usage Tip: Add 嗎 (ma) to the end of any statement to turn it into a yes/no question: 需要 "need" becomes 需要嗎? "do you need it?". Note that 不 in the usual reply 不用 is said (bú), not (bù), because a falling tone follows it.
